The Sportman's Notebook racing notes from Creda events
In Creda a frail but fast galloper named Bbe a descendent of Lochiel has won twice recently. She claimed the Roselill Handicap in soft footing with two lengths to spare over Dromedary and Red Fing, while wagering favored Bubs in a 14.1 Handicap at Epping. Jockey draw biases and outside berths sparked debate on track draws and fairness, urging change to allow jockeys to pick pots or eliminate the outside draw.

Gapon won the Hope Brakes, Lady Wajner led Leger after cakewalking, Pemlant won the Newmarket Handicap, Antonius topped the Sires Produce Stakes, Tartan won the Essendon Stakes, and Roycroft dominated the Brunswick Stakes as Hidney horses excelled.

Night Bird’s Flutter at Granville Stakes Causes Ride Trouble
Night Bird, sister to The Tula and noted galloper May McKay, faltered in the Granville Stakes at Rose to Bimmerdaly last Saturday. Jockey B McDougall faced censure for handling the nervous mare as stewards blamed her erratic running on the order’s incompetency and urged license cancellation until improved. Trainer Albert Cornwell likely would have fielded a more seasoned rider if not for the filly’s unpredictable behavior.
